Amazing ... I really want to study this line a lot because I find the Caro to be one of the harder openings to deal with. I've been using the f3 line which is a little weird but this one seems more straight forward. Thank you!

Always a great instructive video, GM Roman! Thank you. And I wanted to ask you, please, if you would use more visuals, like the "red arrows", to help understand more clearly just what you are doing. It seems that sometimes you tell us why you did this or that, but the auditory explanations would be helped greatly with more visual aids.

Very interesting ideas and positions that are not easy to evaluate and as he said it looks like Black was fine at different points, but they weren't. These are unusual ideas that will force the opponent to think outside the box. I like the different types of videos here at chess.com

Your vids have ALWAYS been INCREDIBLE Roman! I had asked a while back if you would go into a lttle more detail as to why some moves were just positively correct over others, and you have been giving much more detail IMO for us lower rated guys who simply can't see, what you see, and so effortlessly! I thank you for your amazing teaching skills and for explaining a lot more of why certain key moves are made, or not made for that matter!
